I would take the train to Edinburgh then hire a car for outings from there. Much less stressful. You will have to adapt to road features like roundabouts, no turns on red lights under any circumstances, slow lanes on the left, road signs that tell you where you are going not just a number and direction and, of course, a gearstick among other things. Oh, and one other thing. Edinburgh is virtually closed to traffic at the moment with many roads dug up as they work on laying tramlines. Even the locals find it difficult getting around the city so be warned.
